Chapter 5

"I got in and I was able to get two fuckers sending out confidential information" Blue said to Rey who hovered over her at the dining table.

"Perfect! We need names, Blue! Names!" Rey clapped as she went back to cooking. She was extremely tired but she decide to make some noodles for the girls and Eric as well.

"Where is my food?" Natalie muttered as she trudged down the stairs, obviously awoken from her sleep by Scar's newest obsession. Burna Boy

"Here is yours" Rey handed Natalie a plate with noodles and fried egg. She did the same for Blue and Scar who were busy working on their laptops.

Eric stopped at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes laying on Rey who was dressed in a dress very similar to Blues'. She had her cleavage exposed and her chocolate thighs on display as she stretched to give Scarlett her food.

He watched as she sat down and opened a laptop, eating simultaneously.

"My food?" he asked and Scarlett burst into laughter like he had said the funniest thing.

"Another snitch. It's like these the entire world wants this dude dead. Who is Franco Riels?" Blue asked from behind her laptop.

"Chief of security operations?" Eric clarified and she scoffed.

"This man has been receiving ten million dollars every week for information sold. Confidential information. Who is to say he has not instigated your entire security force? Your driver was also a part of the people who were going to kill you, did you know that? No, you didn't!" Blue threw her hands in the air and Eric's heart got caught in his chest.

"What the hell, do you have any proof of this?" Eric asked and all the girls looked at him like he was crazy.

"I completely understand why the poor man did it. I would have done the same thing for free" Natalie muttered.

"Eko lo ma gbon si" Scar muttered and they all laughed, leaving a confused and alarmed Eric.

"Your food" Rey said, sliding a plate of food towards him and he frowned

"I don't eat fried eggs" He whispered.

"Oh! Okay. That's absolutely fine, No wahala" Blue reached from the other side of the table to take the food but he rushed towards it and took it, sitting down next to Rey

"O jebi" Blue murmured and sat back in her seat.

He looked around and began to eat, glancing sideways at Rey who did not acknowledge his existence. Her chocolate thighs had his attention and he could imagine how it felt to touch them.

"Who is Slade?" Rey asked from his side and he swiftly raised his head to look up at her, she was still eating as she typed with one hand.

"His dead aide" Natalie answered.

"Want the good news or bad news first?" Rey asked without looking at him.

"Good?" He said and she turned to him before looking back at the laptop.

"Well, I was expecting you to ask for the bad news first but the death of this Slade was deliberate" Eric's jaw dropped.

"The bad news is that he was part of the ones after you and was supposed to lead you to your death –or in simpler words, to kill you- from what I can see in this message between Franco Riels and this unknown man" Eric's spoon dropped and his vision blurred. He felt like he couldn't breathe and he clutched his chest.

"Is he...having a panic attack?" he heard Scar ask.

"No, he's about to make a music video" Natalie answered and Blue laughed.

"Breathe. Breathe. Think of my voice, listen to my voice" he did just that and as the thumping in his heart and chest subsided. His eyes opened and he found Rey looking at him with humor in her eyes however her beautiful lips were in the straightest motion.

"Okay so I can see that Hunter had nothing to do with this" Scar said.

"Obviously, he's just too cute" Blue said as Eric shoved the noodles in his mouth hungrily, moaning lightly at the burst of taste.

"I would fuck him if he wasn't gay –or taken" Rey said from beside Eric who coughed urgently.

"I ain't saying I'm in love, but I'm staying I suppose" Scarlett sang, ignoring a coughing Eric

"They haven't noticed Jackpot's absence either so I guess that's a good thing. Now we know how many people are after his life. Scar, I need you to find out who is paying them. Blue, break into the system and put get rid of everything that could incriminate Mr. President here and Nat, please send me the proven information that you have. From the people involved and the ones used as pawns" Rey snapped her fingers as she dropped her empty plate in the dishwasher.

"You need me to delete all of it permanently?" Blue asked like Rey was talking trash

"Yes, permanently from their server and send it to me" Rey confirmed and Eric just groaned.

"I was coughing like I was about to die and all you can think about is servers!" he yelled, pointing his finger at Rey.

"If I die then you will be refunding the pay. Wonder what Hunter was thi –" he screamed at the pain that coursed through his wrist that had been turned at an abnormal angle.

"Fuck!" he cried with a tear in his right eye. He cradled the broken wrist to his chest and turned to Rey who was looking at him with a murderous look in her eye

"Do that again and your wrist will not be the only broken thing" She told him and he held his groan trying not to punch her in the face as the pain intensified.

"You fucking broke my arm!"

"I broke your wrist. I'll do the same thing with your other hand. Maybe your neck will follow" she answered, typing away on her laptop. The silence at the dining table was covered up with some Afro pop coming from the beats by dre Pink pill.
